Response to effect of airport x-ray on Tri-X 400

from Terry Carraway (TCarraway@compuserve.com)
I have never personally seen any effects from carry on scanners. But when I travel overseas, I do carry all my film (except what may be the camera) in a lead bag.

I have seen the results of testing with the CTX5000 series machines for checked baggage, and they can do damage to ISO 200 film in a single pass. That is why I don't check any film anywhere. There is no way of knowing where it might run into a CTX5000 series.
